According to a new analysis of data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), the number of cases awaiting resolution before the Immigration Courts reached a new, all-time high of 261,083 matters by the end of September 2010. The case backlog has continued to grow—up 5.3 percent—since TRAC’s last report three months ago, and is more than a third higher (40 percent) than levels at the end of fiscal year 2008.
